To Install a Solaris Flash Archive on a Boot Environment

1. Install the Solaris Live Upgrade SUNWlucfg, SUNWlur, and SUNWluu packages on your system. These packages must be from the release you are upgrading to. For step-by-step procedures, see To Install Solaris Live Upgrade With the pkgadd Command.

2. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

3. Type:

   # luupgrade -f -n BE_name -s os_image_path -a archive

   -f

   Indicates to install an operating system from a Solaris Flash archive.

   -n BE_name

   Specifies the name of the boot environment that is to be installed with an archive.

   -s os_image_path

   Specifies the path name of a directory that contains an operating system image. This directory can be on an installation medium, such as a DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, or it can be an NFS or UFS directory.

   -a archive

   Path to the Solaris Flash archive when the archive is available on the local file system. The operating system image versions that are specified with the -s option and the -a option must be identical.

Example 5–11 Installing Solaris Flash Archives on a Boot Environment

In this example, an archive is installed on the second_disk boot environment. The archive is located on the local system. The operating system versions for the -s and -a options are both Solaris 10 8/07 releases. All files are overwritten on second_disk except shareable files. The pkgadd command adds the Solaris Live upgrade packages from the release you are upgrading to.

# pkgadd -d /server/packages SUNWlucfg SUNWlur SUNWluu
# luupgrade -f -n second_disk \ 
-s /net/installmachine/export/Solaris_10/OS_image \ 
-a /net/server/archive/10 

The boot environment is ready to be activated. See Activating a Boot Environment.
